It is my honor, on behalf of the New York Congressional delegation, as the co-dean along with Chairman Eliot Engel, to welcome our newest member, Chris Jacobs. Or perhaps I should say welcome him back, since Mr. Jacobs began his career just out of college working for New York Congressman Jack Kemp. After returning home to western New York, he has pursued various professional paths, including public service. He began an education charity and his own small business, Avalon Development. Mr. Jacobs served as the Erie County Clerk and most recently was a member of the New York State Senate since 2017. I congratulate Congressman Jacobs and look forward to working with him at this critical time to deliver for our home State of New York in the coming months. I also welcome his family here today, including his wife, Martina, and beautiful young daughter, Anna. Madam Speaker, at this time I am pleased to yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. King).
